another new release movie straight to stream.
I swear I was recommended the trailer for this on YouTube a week ago as if hyping it up for the movies.
From Blumhouse Television, House of Spoils follows an ambitious chef (Ariana DeBose) as she opens a restaurant on a remote estate where she battles kitchen chaos, crushing self doubts… and a haunting presence who threatens to sabotage her at every turn.

The Dry 2: Force of Nature (2024):
(watched both 1 & 2 but 1 was much much better. actually good and not just for an Aus film but good overall. Dry 2 was meh ..worth watching just got Eric Bana. also 2 should have a different title because so little is related.)

hopefully they fixed subs for the foreign movies.
last time I watched one on prime the subs were coming up on screen when nobody was speaking and they seemed completely unrelated like public transport information. had to stop the movie because the subs weren’t making sense.
